- Super Smash Brothers Melee (trophy dispenser), the Dragonball Z RPG for SNES (the saiyan "capsule" is a machine), and I'm tempted to say Mario Party 5/6/7 (one of the orb dispensers?)

Well, it can't beat the mediocrity of mine. I'm sure everybody's heard just about all of those games at one point or another, but regardless. It seems that the activity in this thread has died off so I'll attempt to jump start it again.

Specific Game Questions:

1. In Final Fantasy IV, how many characters can you control that die off sometime in the game?

2. In Final Fantasy V, how many times do you fight X-Death, in one form or another?

3. In Final Fantasy VI, How many Atma Weapons are there?

4. In Final Fantasy VII, name 2 places where the music changes permenantly as you progress in the game.

5. In Final Fantasy VIII, which issue of Weapons Monthly gives you access to the Cutting Trigger?

6. In Final Fantasy IX, how much mail must you deliver in order to revive Mognet Central?

And Some General Questions....

1. Name 3 Racing Games which have a temporary shield pickup available (different series please). These protect you for 1 hit.

2. Name 3 FPS games that start you off with anything besides a Pistol/Blaster/whatever variation. (again, different series)

3. Name 3 RTS games which have more than 3 resources you can gather.

4. Name 3 RPG games where you need to buy ammuntion to use ranged weapons. (i.e. arrows)

5. Name 3 Strategy RPGs special characters that you fight more than once.

That should get us started.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ogre Battle 64 has Virtue and Bane instead of Holy and Evil, if that counts.

3. Empire Earth has food, stone, iron, gold, and whatnot. I can't quite remember, but it's more than three.

4. A huge amount. Final Fantasy IV, Diablo II, and Baldur's Gate are a few examples.

5. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, there's the Black Knight. You have the option to fight him more than once, anyway...

FELIPE NO

Yay! buncha questions and tricky ones at that

1. In Final Fantasy IV, how many characters can you control that die off sometime in the game?

Spoiler:

I'll say 4: Tellah, Palom, Porom, Cecil's dark side. I could be wackiernad say Rydia's young self to make 5. I'm not counting Yang.

2. In Final Fantasy V, name 2 classes that can be missed one way or another.
Mimic, Dancer (?)

4. Name 3 RPG games where you need to buy ammuntion to use ranged weapons. (i.e. arrows)
Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Unlimited SaGa (don't remember)

5. Name 3 Strategy RPGs special characters that you fight more than once.
Celia (FFT), Lede (FFT), Midboss (Disgaea)

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

After calculating the current alpha list scores (speaking of which, it's never too late to submit a list) , i came across a problem on how to deal with a violator of the "series rule". if you wouldn't mind, would the current participants please refer to the front page and answer the questions under the dupe game list spoiler tab <3

while reading through the results i thought about the games i was thinking about before i submitted my 26 and realized that a handful of them were on my list before i finalized it. and also, i noticed that several of the games listed were some of my favorites <3 i like this gaming crowd.

to change up the flow of this, we could recycle the "list x game" questions that didn't get answered with the games we had in mind when they were thought up and pin the "ideal" answers as they come.
any thoughts on this?


oh yeah.
Q: Name 3 games where it is possible to "lock weapons" with the opponent?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd say go by Genre. Games that play alike are considered the same game. So basically, what I'm saying is 1 series is Mario Platformers, 1 series is Mario Sports, another is Mario RPGs, etc. Games with different protagonists but same cast is considered a different series.

Hmmm.....That's Dynasty Warriors, Bushido Blade 2.....can't quite think of another one.

EDIT: Summonmaster,

Spoiler:

If I remember correctly, Palom and Porom recovered by the end of the game. By some elder dude or something....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ah right hadn't played IV for a while, then again I stopped at the moon :s

Samurai Showdown, Samurai Showdown IV, Kirby Superstar (Samurai Kirby)

I like the ideal answers idea.
BTW, for 25) I had SaGa Frontier (mind vs. evil magic)

Now to test your logic, these aren't hard, but just to see if you can interpret correctly:
27) Name a game in which the ultimate attack does exactly the same amount of damage as a normal attack is capable of doing.
28) Name any character that can have about three weapons on him/her at one time. (FPSs don't count)
29) Name 2 damage-dealing summons that can never kill an opponent.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Quote:

29) Name 2 damage-dealing summons that can never kill an opponent.

Well one would be Diablo (FF VIII). As for a second, I can't think of any others.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

27. That's an oddly phrased question. An ultimate attack that does exactly the same amount of damage a normal attack is capable of doing? Usually, normal attacks have a range of damage they're capable of inflicting. How can an ultimate attack deal exactly a "range" of damage? I guess it would make sense if both attacks did the same range of damage, but I dunno.

28. Another odd question. Any character in Fire Emblem, for starters. Units are allowed to carry five items of any type, so you can carry three weapons if you want.

---

3. Name three RPGs that require (or allow) some form of timed hits in battle.
4. Name two games that allow you to unlock game content with currency earned ingame.

I was speaking idiomatically.

3. Tales of Symphonia, Star Ocean 3 (I think), Vagrant Story.

4. Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Advance Wars (kinda).

Not sure about 27, but 28 is vague. Any character from Shining Force can hold 3 weapons at a time, but as far as equipping ALL three weapons, the Golems from Legend of Mana can have 3 weapons.

2 Damage Dealing, Non-Killing summons would include Diablo (FFVIII) and I think Remora (FFV) counts too if you get hit, you do lose HP, but at a steady pace and that doesn't kill you outright.

Come to think of it, these are all vague.

FELIPE NO

I was thinking more along the lines of traditional turn-based RPGs, but those work too.

5. Name two strategy games in which it is necessary to capture or liberate enemy towns/strongholds.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, this is tricky...I'm not sure if you mean the enemies can use your spells or something like enemy skill/blue magic. Or if both you and your enemy share the same skill pot. I'm saying like Seiken Densetsu 3 as Duran vs. the Black Knight where you can use Whrilwind Sword/Eruption Sword, etc or Angela's Holy Ball/Diamond Missile, etc or Hawk's Jutsus that mimic those of Bill&Ben or hell, even Carlie's Heal Light that is used by enemies.

There's 4 right there if that's what you want. Otherwise, if you're talking about like Blue Magic or Enemy Skill, I dunno.

Most amazing jew boots

28) Name any character that can have about three weapons on him/her at one time. (FPSs don't count)

Well, DMC3 Dante can have four, with Ebony & Ivory/Agni & Rudra equipped.

-Name four non-Final Fantasy characters that can use the enemies' attacks or abilities.

Megaman, Dante (again), Kirby, and Soma Cruz.

Question time again: Name 3 games that let you play during the credits.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

games that let you play during the credits? how about: Beatmania , Technic Beat, and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror? (i'll need to re-check kirby)

Dalkaen 5)are Advance Wars, and Soul Calibur III (chronicles of the sword) acceptable answers?

Summonmaster 28)Link (LoZ:OoT) is able to hold onto 3 objects with the left, down, and right c-buttons (so he's technically equipping 3). is this an acceptable answer?

-Four non Final Fantasy characters that can use enemies' moves
Musashi (brave fencer musashi), Smeargle (pokemon), Olcadan (Soul Calibur 3), Emerl (Sonic Battle).

Name 4 characters that morph into copies of enemies as a specialty.
the following is my answer:

Spoiler:

Ditto (pokemon), Axl (MMX7), Mutants (Final Fantasy Legend) & Copy Man (Gotcha Force)

Btw. electric_eye, you left out a W game, so i was unable to rank you. would you mind editing your post with a W game in there somewhere?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Advance Wars was one of the games I had in mind, but Soul Calibur III isn't a strategy game. (I'm guessing it has something similar to Soul Calibur II's Weapon Master mode?)

I was speaking idiomatically.

You do capture and liberate strongholds.
It's not a strategy game as such, but superficially, it appears as one. Basically, you have a team of up to five (or something) men, and you move them around a map (there are a limited number of routes, but whatever).
The enemy also has an army, and basically wants to destroy all of your guys/strongholds.

So you have to sort of move around and kill stuff, but in an encounter, you can choose to fight it in the normal engine.

I wouldn't accept it as a valid answer though. ><;;

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Don't think too hard:
27) Final Fantasy IX, damage cap is 9999, so any ultimate attack (Ark, Madeen, Doomsday) will easily do exactly the same amount of damage as a normal attack is capable of doing (eg. Steiner -> Attack).
28) Zoro from One Piece (Three Swords), and most SaGa series characters (can equip 3-4 weapons at once).
29) I had Diablos in mind, and I made a mistake with this question (sorry!). I thought Celesdue was also in the strain of gravity attack based on current hp. I didn't know Remora sapped health a bit too, although it would be hard to tell if he did.


30) Name a game with 5 tiers of elemental magic.
31) Name 3 dragon summons that are not any form of "Bahamut". BoF series' dragon transformations don't count.
32) Name two different games (different series please) with fighting pandas in them.

Oh, that's neat. I need to play SCIII one of these days.

Warcraft III, I believe. Other than that, I dunno.

Super Monkey Ball, Super Smash Bros Melee, Katamari Damacy~
(and Starfox come to think of it)

According to Isaiah, Leviathan is a dragon. ^_^

Would you count that? (Leviathan from Final Fantasy).

Stretching the definition of summon, you do sorta summon Dragonite in Pokémon, right? ><;;

(A tad off topic - This might sound weird, but Dalkaen, were you on a forum called Fool's Gold by any chance?)

Most amazing jew boots

I did have Leviathan in mind, but Dragonite is really clever out-of-the-box thinking . I actually had one game in mind for each of these, so these must have been stumpers:

32) Name two different games (different series please) with fighting pandas in them.

30) Disgaea (eg. fire, mega fire, giga fire, omega fire, tera fire)
31) Leviathan, Valitora, Garuda...all from Bahamut Lagoon (full of non "Bahamut" dragons)
32) Tekken 5 (!), and Ranma 1/2: Hard Battle (Genma)



Here are some much easier ones:
33) Name two fighting games with Quest modes
34) Name two fighting games where you can accessorize your characters
35) Name a game with "Nibelung Valesti" in it that is not any form of Valkyrie Profile.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

You can't forget the Tekken series. If you want an individual game, then Tekken 3 had the panda in it (if I remember right - what was its name again?).



And yeah, Leviathan is a dragon.
